Afterpay is committed to working with our community to promote responsible spending. This means Afterpay community members buying what they can afford, and paying according to our short instalment plan.

To help with this, we limit Afterpay to people who are 18 years or older and who are genuinely committed to working with us to plan, book, buy and pay responsibly.

And that means we have to verify your identify when you sign up to Afterpay, to make sure you fit our profile and that you are not taking advantage through a false account.

You can check the status of your verification, and provide additional information online in “My Account” under “Profile Verification”, and by clicking the Person Icon on the App.
